fender stratocaster rosewood
I’m starting guitar and…?
I’m starting guitar, and this is the equipment I’ve decided to get:
- Fender Standard Stratocaster (should I get a maple or rosewood fingerboard? What’s the difference?)
- Amp combo from fender (Idk which one yet though)
- Cables, picks, strap (probably from Rebel Strap), etc.
Is there anything I’m missing? (Make some corrections/ suggestions to my equipment if you want) I’m totally clueless, and I’m completely lost. I need a lot of help.
By the way, I’d like to play hardcore/metal stuff like Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet for My Valentine, etc.
And when you answer, can you also say how long you’ve been playing, what kind of stuff you play, and some bands that influence your playing ? Thanks.
Ibanez RG2EX1 Electric Guitar?
I’d stick with a stratocaster but get one with the humbucker in the bridge (HSS) as it will give you alot more versatility and will help you get a lot closer to the to the Hardcore/metal tones you want but you’d still be able to switch back to a classic strat sound. Maple necks are brighter than rosewood. Some people think one is better than the other i don’t notice a difference.

Fender make some beautiful amps but I’d stay away from the cheap solid state amps like the frontman. i’d take a look at a roland cube/microcube or a vox valvetronix/DA5 depending on your requirements.
If your just starting out buy a cheap electronic tuner and cables, gigbag etc…
